Create and manage an Analytics dashboard

Selecting, creating, and managing dashboards is done from the Dashboards icon on the Analytics toolbar. Click the icon to select an existing dashboard to view from the list displayed. Click the Manage button at the top of the list of dashboards to open the My Dashboards dialog box. From there you create and manage dashboards. This feature is available only if you have the appropriate permissions.

NOTE   Shared dashboards are indicated with a lock symbol in My Dashboards. This means you can view those dashboards but you cannot edit them. Only the owner of the shared dashboard can do that.

Prerequisites

  • Your organization has either the Desktop Analytics license or the full Analytics license.
  • You have the View System Analytics permission.
